Coronavirus pandemic cited:
‘I came out to smoke a cigarette, and they told me someone jumped,’ one building resident, who declined to be named told via the nypost. ‘It’s upsetting.’
It was not immediately clear why the man had jumped, though neighbors speculated it may have been related to the state’s new regulation around self-isolation amid the coronavirus pandemic.
‘You have to be mentally strong to take on isolation. The uncertainty of what’s going to happen is scary,’ the woman added.
The coronavirus crises has also led to the plummeting of economic activity in major metropolis US cities and has led to an anticipated recession and scrambling and avoiding of ruin as the devolving situation continues to exacerbate with no end in sight.
